I really hoped that we could stop payroll deductions, so that people would really see how much the government is taking, and then each person would have to issue a check to the government in January, or April of each year.
Of course payroll deductions started during WWII, so the government would have immediate access to funds. Recently the law establishing payroll deductions was renewed. Maybe we need to slow down the access by repealing the payroll deduction law.
This country, because of government schools, has a lot of incompetent people. Maybe we should start with a law that says every tax preparation organization must make it perfectly clear to the customer how much they PAID in taxes rather than simply how much they get returned.
This is a good start, and who can argue with people knowing what their tax burden really is? What argument can be used against giving taxpayers this knowledge?
